Earmark elimination act. Majority Of House Democrats Vote Against Amendment That Would Keep Convicted Terrorists From Working For TSA. What could possibly go wrong?
Convicted terrorists are simply people who have acted upon their justifiable grievances against the U.S. and Israel, right? Don’t you stand against colonialism, imperialism, and racism, you greasy Islamophobe? History of the Department of Justice. Dems led by the Squad block bill to stop terrorists, pervs from working at TSA. Congress passed the Rights for Transportation Security Officers Act, HR1140.
The bill is meant to bring the handling of TSA employees in line with other federal workers, possibly to attract new and better applicants. An amendment was offered during the process that would require screening applicants and conducting background checks. The Amendment would have prevented people convicted of sexual assault and other violent crimes, as well as those who appear on terror watch lists, from obtaining employment at the TSA. Most of the Democrats, 174 of them, guided by the Squad, including Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the other two, Ayanna Pressley and AOC, voted against the amendment and defeated it.
The amendment was authored by a Democrat, Illinois Rep. BREAKING: Trump Fires Chief Of Staff And IMMEDIATELY Names A Replacement. Moments ago, President Trump removed Mick Mulvaney as acting Chief of Staff and immediately named MARK MEADOWS to the post.

In a recent tweet, Rep. Trump Admin Ignores Obama Appointed Judge and Will Not Comply (VIDEO) - Tedium Media. Last week, Judge Randolph Moss who was appointed by former President Barack Obama ruled that Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli was illegally appointed to lead the department.
As it turns out, this ruling is proof of actual collusion between the judge and a group that sued the Trump administration attempting to eliminate Trump’s immigration policy, which the courts have upheld. Despite the ruling, the Trump administration has said that he is going to remain in office at this time. Judge Randolph Moss ruled that Cuccinelli did not meet the requirements in the Federal Vacancies Reform act of 1998, the judge’s decision also declared that Cuccinelli’s policy changes regarding immigration are invalid. The lawsuit was initiated by the Democracy Forward Foundation that was formed by former Obama administration officials during Trump’s first term in office.
Trump's bad Taliban deal. On Feb. 21, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that, after two decades of war, nearly 2,500 American deaths, and a trillion-dollar investment, the United States and the Taliban had reached an “understanding” for a one-week pause in violence, to be followed by a broader agreement.
Much of the agreement, supposedly taken in “consultation with [Afghanistan’s] Government of National Unity,” remains shrouded in secrecy and secret annexes, but the broad outline is known: America and the Taliban will sign the deal, which will be followed by a U.S. withdrawal and intra-Afghan negotiations in order to bring about a political solution. To borrow an expression I heard in Afghanistan, Pompeo has taken a cucumber, painted it yellow, and now sells a banana. Simply put, President Trump and Pompeo may want out of Afghanistan, but there are problems with the past, present, and future of their deal. The past is precedent There is simply nothing new in the agreement. Money also matters. History of the ATF: How the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms Became Corrupt & Abusive. It’s unlikely that there is a single federal alphabet organization less popular among the readership of this website than the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
These are the people who gave us both the Siege at Ruby Ridge and the Siege of Waco. What’s more, they may well be engaged in an entirely unconstitutional exercise: monitoring and patrolling the gun ownership of law-abiding citizens. There’s also a solid case to be made that the ATF is a rogue organization, the most corrupt of the federal alphabet agencies. This can be seen through a number of scandals beginning with Ruby Ridge, threading through the siege at Mount Carmel in Waco, and continuing to the notorious “Fast and Furious” scandal. While firearms owners, weapons enthusiasts and Second Amendment advocates might have a special bone to pick with the ATF, we believe that all freedom-loving Americans should be concerned about the overreach, lawlessness and lack of accountability in this organization.

Trump’s Taliban Peace Deal in Jeopardy of Falling Apart. The highly touted peace deal between the Taliban and the United States is already headed down a path of destruction.
Reports are breaking that Afghanistan leadership is balking at the release of the 5,000 prisoners, but that is not the only stumbling block. Non-Negotiable Just hours ago, Jennifer Griffin, a Fox News war correspondent, reported that Afghanistan was balking at one of the primary negotiated points in the deal. This is a major problem for the Trump administration, which has been openly touting this as a legacy peace treaty, but it now seems to be worth about as much as a piece of toilet paper.
If Afghanistan does not agree to these terms, the deal will be null and void and we will be right back to square one. Philippine military: can 'survive' without US support via pact.

Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan - United States Department of State. After Schiff's Disastrous Impeachment, Pelosi Appoints 'Whistleblower Ombudsman' Trump’s Budget: More Warfare, Slightly Less Welfare. Listening to the howls from Democrats and the applause from Republicans, one would think President Trump’s proposed fiscal year 2021 budget is a radical assault on the welfare state. The truth is the budget contains some minor spending cuts, most of which are not even real cuts. Instead, they are reductions in the “projected rate of growth.” This is equivalent of saying you are sticking to your diet because you ate five chocolate chip cookies when you wanted to eat ten.
President Trump’s plan reduces the Education Department’s budget by nearly eight percent, leaving the department with “only” 66.6 billion dollars. Cuts to other departments are similarly small, while reductions in entitlement spending consist mostly of reforms that will not affect most of those dependent on these programs.

“While Tennessee and many other states prohibit driver licenses for illegal aliens, a growing number of states are moving in the opposite direction and unleashing dangerous open borders policies. “In America, no one is above the law,” she concluded. WATCH: McConnell Says He’d Move Forward With SCOTUS Nomination if a Slot Opens This Year. Appearing on Fox News, Senate Majority leader said he’d go forward with a nomination for Supreme Court justice if one opened up this year, a declaration that is sure to enrage critics on the left.
McConnell also paid a compliment to Attorney General Barr, telling Brett Baier “The president made a great choice when he picked Bill Barr to be the attorney general. I think the president should listen to his advice.” Per Fox News, Baier asked McConnell whether he would go forward with the nomination of a Supreme Court justice before the November election. McConnell has been criticized for not holding a hearing for President Obama’s 2016 nominee Merrick Garland, citing the fact it was an election year. McConnell told Baier that his comments at the time specified that it has been longstanding custom since the 1880s that no Senate controlled by the opposing party to the sitting president has gone forward with the nominating process.
While Americans pine for 'Medicare for all,' Canadians look for US-style private insurance.

Forty-four House Democrats are in support of the New Way Forward Act, a bill that would make deportation of criminals harder, calls for the decriminalization of illegal immigration, and would bring criminal illegal aliens back into the U.S. Critics of the bill, including immigration experts and House GOP leadership, have referred to it as possibly the most “radical” legislation in U.S. history, and say it’s indicative of Democrats’ “open borders” agenda.
